THE ROLLING STONES

10th June - 26th July 1978
North American Tour.

In this series we concentrate on audience recordings, leaving out the rehearsals, and of course the official recordings. KBFH-recordings will only be used for merges or matrix recordings.

Thanks to the people who recorded and shared these shows and also to my accomplices nzb and BlueTurns2Grey who gave me the benefit of their advice and support.
BlueTurns2Grey will be posting his video reworks simultaneously.

Line-up: MJ (voc, gtr, p)/KR (gtr, voc)/RW (gtr, pedal steel)/BW (bass)/CW (dr)/STU (p)/Ian McLagan (p, org, bvoc)
Volume 09
26nd June 1978
(GREENSBORO)

26nd June 1978: Greensboro, North Carolina, Coliseum

For this show I found 3 versions coming from the same incomplete source (“Let It Rock” and “All Down The Line” are missing on all of them).
They all seem to come from a vinyl rip.
The first version corresponds to “Southern Quotations” (no label), the sound is slightly saturated.
The 2nd version has more vinyl noises and runs 3,5% slower than the 1st version.
The 3rd version (APP Records) comes from CrazyMama (thanks a lot!). It runs 2,51% faster than ‘Southern Quotations’. The sound is slightly saturated and HTW was shortened to only 2’30.
Two songs (‘Happy’ and ‘Shattered’) appear as bonuses on the Pignose Record (DigiPig 025) ‘Let Them Burn Your Town’ and on the vinyl rip uploaded by Wiredallnight at IORR (‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’).
My favorite version is the 2nd, ,even if I have to delete the noises coming from the vinyl as this is the most complete and the sound is not so saturated.
A comparison with the official recording shows that this recording has to be accelerated by +4,5%
It is now de-clicked, balanced and phase adjusted. I reworked the transitions so that now the tracks start with the songs.

CD1 :
01 - Honky Tonk Women (faded in)
02 - Star Star
03 - When The Whip Comes Down
04 - Miss You
05 - Lies
06 - Beast Of Burden
07 - Just My Imagination (faded out)
note a fade in/out before the next track

CD2 :
01 - Respectable
02 - Far Away Eyes
03 - Love In Vain
04 - Shattered
05 - Tumbling Dice
06 - Happy
07 - Sweet Little Sixteen
08 - Brown Sugar
09 - Jumpin' Jack Flash

BONUS :
“Satisfaction Guaranteed”coming from the vinyl rip uploaded by Wiredallnight at IORR contains . 2 tracks from the Buffalo show. This version is way better than the Pignose version: I decided to added them as bonuses here (after a deceleration by -1,6%).
10 - Shattered
11 - Happy

I tested different merges but they were not interesting because of the saturation of the other versions, except for 3 of them that I present here as bonuses :
Source #2 is on the left channel and source #3 is on the right channel.
12 - Far Away Eyes
at 5’ I compensated a half a second gap from source #3
13 - Love In Vain
14 - Sweet Little Sixteen

As usual all the infos are coming from Nico Zentgraf's Rolling Stones Complete Works Database: [www.nzentgraf.de]
